    If you simp for dictators you cannot be leftist. All authoritarian is right wing. Tankies are virtually no different than MAGA Republicans. Both have the same goals regardless of the minor differences. And I have never seen a tankie talk shit about conservatives.

        “Male America Great Again” Communism doesn’t make sense, however if you follow their stupid logic that MAGA will render the United States into a religious theocracy and post-apocalyptic wasteland, running a small local commune to survive is possibly the only way to survive if they succeed.

        Fuck tankies, fuck MAGA, fuck rural uneducated dipshits who vote that way, fuck capitalism, fuck anarchy, fuck me, fuck cars, and most importantly fuck you for reading this.

        Tens of millions of communists have died fighting for the emancipation of the working class. Half the world was communist at one point. The people you call “MAGA communists” are an online micro-ideology of a few hundred infantile Westerners, who most communists are not even aware of, and who all communists who are aware of them reject as explicitly anti-Marxist and crypto-fascist. They have no relevance to communism whatsoever.
        This is one of the purposes of the ‘tankie’ slur - to associate Marxists with people who are explicitly opposed to them and so fringe as to be otherwise irrelevant. In this way the ideas of communism can be confused and distorted in the public consciousness.

          the ‘tankie’ slur

          another example of you demonstrating op to the letter - playing victim. Just like all oppressors who seek to flip the script - white people who claim reverse racism is a thing, men who claim reverse sexism is a thing, transphobes who claim being called cis is a slur.

          What a pathetic fucking clown.

          I have separate distinctions between “Tankie” and communist.

          Communism, true communism as explained by Marx. Classless, stateless. NO ELITE CLASS This is the goal. This is good.

          Tankies seem to just want Putin or Xi to rule the world. Or are capitalists LARPing as what they think commies are in effort to troll. Probably both with some true believers filtering in over time. Sorta like the origins of r/The_Donald and flat earth theory.

          TLDR Communism != Tankie

          MAGA Communists are the tankies.

          Anyone who simps for authoritarian state violence inflicted militarily upon civilians is a tankie and anyone who DOESN’T simp like that ISN’T a tankie, full stop, regardless of their espoused economic model. If you’re not simping for a power-mad mass murderer, you’re not a tankie either.

      I was arguing with one earlier about how you can’t criticize desantis for attacking Disney because Disney is a corporation
